YRC1000 and DX200: How to Load a MotoPlus App License

Preparation
This guide only covers the YRC1000 and DX200 robot controllers. There are different sets of instructions for the DX100, FS100, and YRC1000micro. License files are used for some paid MotoPlus applications, for example OPC UA Server and MotoPick. License files are only valid for a single controller. They are generated using the unique MAC address of a given controller. A license file can hold the license for one or many licensed applications. This tutorial assumes that you already have a license file for your controller. Getting a license is a separate procedure. Both customers and Yaskawa Motoman employees should reach out to tech support if they need a license file to be generated for an application. Required tools vary based on the controller model that you are using. For YRC1000, you need a computer with an SD card slot. For DX200, you need a computer with a CF card slot. This guide was made with the latest software version in mind. If the process described in this guide does not match what you are seeing on your controller, it may be due to the software version. Consider upgrading the software version of the controller.

Process

1. Power off your controller and perform lockout/tagout procedure on main electrical sources.
2. Open the controller door.
3. Take out the internal memory card from the slot in the CPU board (CN104 for YRC1000, CN107 for DX200).
   1. YRC1000
   2. DX200
4. Insert the memory storage device into your computer.
5. Save the relevant “MotoPlusApp.lic” file onto the root of the memory storage device, as shown below.
6. Safely eject the memory device and put it back into the (powered off) robot controller CPU board slot.
7. Close the controller door.
8. Remove lockout/tagout equipment and restore power to the robot controller.
9. Boot into MAINTENANCE mode by holding down [MAIN MENU] while powering on the controller.
10. Upgrade to MANAGEMENT security level (all 9s).
11. Touch [SYSTEM] > [SETUP]
    1. Go to “OPTION FUNCTION”.
    2. Find “MotoPlus FUNC”.
       1. Follow these sub-steps only if it is set to “NOT USED”.
          1. Set it to “USED”.
          2. Select [YES] when prompted to modify.
          3. Select [YES] when prompted to initialized SRAMDRV.DAT.
12. Touch [MOTOPLUS APL] > [LICENSE FILE]
13. Touch [LOAD]
    1. Select [YES] when prompted.
14. Upon rebooting your controller, you should be able to run the application which requires the license file.
